"Firearms automatically attain curio or relic (C&R) status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF’s C&R list"

Mike,

It's not listed in the C&R gun list.

The last Unique Model 17s were produced by the Germans in 1944. At the very least any Unique Model 17 Pistol "Kiegs Modell" with waffenamt is 65 years old, and qualifies under BATF regulations as a C&R. If it's not a Kriegs Modell (pre 1940) , just a standard Model 17? It has to be at least 70 years old.
